Flail of Ages is a rare +1 Flail that applies variable conditions depending on what type of damage the flail does.

Created by a warmongering ⁠rakshasa and kept for a time under the careful watch of an astute noble name ⁠Lord de'Arnise, this flail is a tool of absolute destruction, and a versatile one at that.

Notes

• Elemental Age's damage bonus can be applied to other weapons if Flail of Ages is equipped in the offhand slot when cast. The condition stays on the other weapon even when Flail of Ages is unequipped. This only resets after a long rest.
• There are DC 13  Constitution saving throws to apply each of the elemental conditions.
• Multiple conditions from Elements of an Epoch can be applied each hit if the weapon does multiple types of elemental damage. For example, ⁠Acid damage can be added with the  Caustic Band or ⁠Fire damage can be added by  Dipping the weapon in fire.
• The Flail of Ages is also found in Baldur's Gate 2. The description of the item in Baldur's Gate 3 refers to the events of the previous storyline.
